Systematic review with meta-analysis: the accuracy of serological tests to support the diagnosis of coeliac disease.

Anti-tissue transglutaminase sensitivity appears to be sufficient to rule out coeliac disease in children. The high specificity of endomysial antibody in adults supports its use to rule in coeliac disease. This evidence underpins the current development of clinical guidelines for a serological diagnosis of coeliac disease. Studies in primary care are needed to evaluate serological testing strategies in this setting.

Impact of thiopurine discontinuation at anti-tumour necrosis factor initiation in inflammatory bowel disease treatment: a nationwide Danish cohort study.

In a nationwide cohort study of IBD patients, we observed that discontinuing thiopurines after anti-TNF initiation was associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes, in particular an increase in hospitalizations. Further interventional studies exploring this common clinical scenario are required.

The appropriate selection of endoscopic resection for superficial nonampullary duodenal adenomas in association with recurrence.

The recurrence risk was not different for EMR, UEMR, and EMRC. Therefore, UEMR, a simple and safe procedure, could be the first choice for relatively small SNADAs. With larger prospective studies, UEMR data may turn out to be more robust, corroborating it as the endoscopic modality of choice for certain SNADAs.

Stimulatory MAIT cell antigens reach the circulation and are efficiently metabolised and presented by human liver cells.

Our findings reveal previously unrecognised roles of liver cells in Ag metabolism and activation of MAIT cells, repression of which creates an opportunity to design antifibrotic therapies. The presence of MAIT cell stimulatory Ags in serum rationalises the observed activated MAIT cell phenotype in liver. Increased serum levels of gut-derived MAIT cell stimulatory ligands in patients with impaired intestinal barrier function indicate that intrahepatic Ag-presentation may represent an important step in the development of liver disease.

Quantified integrated hepatitis B virus is related to viral activity in chronic hepatitis B patients.

Integrated HBV levels are strongly correlated with surrogate markers for virological activity but not to cccDNA levels, and are predictive for HBsAg-loss. Our data suggest that integrated HBV is closely related to HBV replication and may therefore be an important tool in the evaluation and development of new treatment modalities aiming to cure CHB.

Drug-induced liver injury used in the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Although drug-induced liver injury (DILI) appears to be less frequent with anti-TNF agents, newer biologics and small molecules, monitoring liver tests should be considered in the follow-up of these patients, especially if in the future raises the option of combined therapy of biologics or these drugs with small molecules. The objective of this review is to show data on the risk of developing DILI in patients with IBD who are undergoing treatment with traditional therapy or new drugs, whether biological or small molecules.

Factor VIII/protein C ratio independently predicts liver-related events but does not indicate a hypercoagulable state in ACLD.

FVIII/PC provides prognostic information regarding hepatic decompensation/death and ACLF, independently of established prognostic indicators. This should not be mistaken as evidence for the concept of hypercoagulability as a driver of disease progression, as the correlation between FVIII/PC and thrombin generation is confounded by liver disease severity and FVIII/PC was not associated with thrombosis. Therefore, FVIII/PC does not reflect coagulation and results from previous studies on FVIII/PC thus require reinterpretation.

Spastic secondary contractile patterns identified by FLIP panometry in symptomatic patients with unremarkable high-resolution manometry.

This case series demonstrates that treatments targeting spastic secondary contractions identified by FLIP panometry can result in symptomatic improvement in patients with no obstructive disorder and no diagnostic motility disorder on HRM. In such patients, we have identified the novel HRM finding of mid-vertical pressurization, which might be the manometric manifestation of spasm limited to the mid-esophagus.
